Our goal is to make you a home barista with our new and easy coffee recipes that are mostly looking difficult to brew. Here you can see incredible espresso and milk-based coffee recipes of delicious Nespresso capsules that you love most.

Last week I met my friend at a Starbucks coffee shop. My friend knew I was crazy about Nespresso while he was used to using a cheap Keurig coffee machine.

Although the topic of our discussion was Keurig vs. Nespresso, our topic turned to whether you can make Starbucks-quality coffee with Nespresso capsules. Before I could argue on this topic my friend made a strange point.

He was saying that it is very difficult to buy a Nespresso machine because they cost anywhere from $200 to $800 and the capsules you use are even more expensive. Nor can you make all of those great drinks that he can order at a Starbucks coffee shop, he added, adding weight to his distaste for Nespresso.

I had heard arguments like this against Nespresso many times before. Maybe I would have believed my friend if I hadn’t been using Nespresso machines for the past twenty-two years.

Actually, all these are assumptions and based on lies.

Both of my friend’s statements were wrong.

Neither Nespresso machines are very expensive. And…

Nor is it impossible to make Starbucks-quality drinks from Nespresso capsules.

I thought today I would not leave my friend’s heart with hatred towards Nespresso.

After paying the bill, we got up from the Starbucks coffee shop and our first destination was the kitchen of my house.

Today I wanted to prove to my friend how much money he can save with Nespresso and how you can make Starbucks quality drinks with Nespresso pods.

Use Nespresso And Save Your Money!

I asked my friend how much it costs you to drink coffee at Starbucks.

For five dollars, he replied.

I think he was telling more. I knew this because I also used to go to Starbucks every week and now I have the Starbucks menu memorized.

I had a caffe latte from Starbucks for $2.95 and an iced caramel macchiato for $4.95.

I would estimate $4 to be the average purchase price of a Starbucks drink.

Fortunately, I had both Original Line and Vertuoline Nespresso machines in my kitchen at that time. Still, unfortunately, I did not have any of the Original Line or Vertuoline capsules in my kitchen cabinet. So I ordered 15 Original Line and 15 Vertuoline capsules online at Amazon at the same time to convince my friend the right way.

These were the tastiest and highest quality capsules I’ve ever tasted, from both the Original and Vertuoline. The details of the capsules I ordered were as follows.

After ordering Nespresso capsules we adjourned our meeting. Three days later we met again and we decided to get together every day at 5 pm and make a recipe from Nespresso capsules every day. So we got together for 30 consecutive days and in those days we made 30 recipes in our kitchen using Nespresso Lattissima Plus and VertuoPlus Deluxe. All these recipes are detailed in the lines below. Finally, we calculated how much a Nespresso recipe cost us. My friend agreed that the Nespresso recipes are really tasty and Starbucks quality plus they save more money than Starbucks.

I also share with you the average cost of all my recipes so that you too can know how much you can save per day by opting for Nespresso coffees.

The Average Cost of Nespresso Recipes at Home

Single capsule: $0.70 for OriginalLine, $1.00 for VertuoLine
Milk: $0.12 per 1/2 cup (assuming a $4.00 gallon)
Caramel, chocolate, whipped cream, and other extras: Varies but like $0.20 per serving
Total: From $1.00-$1.50

By making all of these beverages at home we saved $2.50-$3.00 per beverage. I proved to my friend that if you buy a Nespresso machine for $200 but you can pay for this awesome machine in two months by saving $3 a day. And whatever you save after two months will be your savings.

My friend agreed that a daily coffee at Starbucks is a purchase that is actually more expensive than a Nespresso coffee at home.

After the discussion, my friend agreed that Nespresso coffees are indeed cheaper than Starbucks drinks, and now his next question was. Is Nespresso’s drink quality equal to Starbucks?

My answer was yes. But to prove this, there was a need for a practical rather than a debate. So we started making a recipe per day.

If you are in a hurry and cannot read the complete guide, then for your convenience I have given a video link below, click on it and enjoy delicious Nespresso recipes.

1. Arpeggio Altissio Choco Coco Latte Macchiato Recipe

Today is the 28th of June. Next month is United States Independence Month and we are getting ready to celebrate. We chose Choco Coco Latte for our first recipe because it’s one of my favorite Nespresso recipes and it is the perfect recipe for summer mornings. Since we made it with Arpeggio and Altissio, we named it Arpeggio Altissio Choco Coco Latte Macchiato.

It is 8 a.m, a summer morning. The scorching sun has not come up yet and it is the best time to enjoy this sensory delight.

What do you have to do? You have to combine rich, bold Nespresso coffee, decadent chocolate, and slightly tropical, nutty coconut. And…

What do you get?

A Tasty Nespresso Choco Coco Latte Macchiato.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Combine the milk and coconut syrup in the Nespresso frother and froth on hot.
Add chocolate spread to the large pint glass.
Pour the hot frothed milk over the chocolate spread in the large glass.
Pop either the OriginalLine or VertuoLine capsule in the compatible machine and brew over the chocolate spread into the large glass.
Top it with grated coconut if you like.
Stir it.
Enjoy!

2. Diavolitto Iced Chocolate Nespresso Coffee Recipe

It is 29th of June. We love chocolate milkshakes and mocha a lot so we chose the Iced Chocolate Coffee recipe for today. It was my requisite effort to prove my friend Nespresso dominance. It is 8 a.m. We had our dinner so we enjoyed this recipe as an after-dinner sweet and we had the best. If you want to enjoy this coffee in hot daylight or later in the evening try this recipe with one or two decaffeinated Nespresso coffees.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Make ice cubes in your refrigerator.
Make ice cream in ice cream maker.
Pour organic whole milk into Nespresso frother and froth on cold until it’s sufficiently creamy texture foamed milk.
Brew two shots of espresso with both capsules either Diavolitto or Kazaar with your compatible Nespresso machine into the coffee mug.
Pour the brewed espresso coffee into the shaker.
Pour Ice cubes into the blender and blend well.
Add ice cream to a shaker and shake well.
Pour crushed ice into the large coffee glass.
Pour the coffee and ice cream mixture into the large coffee glass.
Pour cold-frothed milk over the top until the glass is full.
Stir it and enjoy!

3. Capriccio Altissio Mocha Mint Latte With Dark Chocolate Syrup Recipe

Today is the 30th of June. It is five o’clock in the evening. Summers are usually very hot, but today it has been raining heavily since morning. The weather has become incredibly cold. So we have chosen Mocha Mint Latte for today’s recipe. I like mint as an iced coffee supra, usually in the fall and winter. And since the Mint Mocha Latte is also especially great on cool afternoons and evenings, we’ve chosen it for the cooler weather today. This rich beverage lived up to our expectations and delighted us with the boldness of the capsules. The chocolate shavings enhance its flavor and give an amazing coffee experience.

Because we prepared this recipe with Capriccio and Altissio, we named it as Capriccio Altissio Mocha Mint Latte. Both are bold capsules but the pale mint stabilizes the potency of the capsules and is a great alternative to hot lattes in cold weather.

We made it with two espresso capsules. For this reason, you might find it a bit too caffeinated, if so you can use a Decaffeinato Firenze Arpeggio, — Diavolitto , — Altissio Decaffeinato, or a Decaffeinato Intenso.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Add organic whole milk to Nespresso frother and froth on hot.
Pour hot-frothed milk into the coffee mug.
Pour the Monin – Gourmet dark chocolate syrup into the coffee mug.
Add Mint Syrup.
Brew both OriginalLine or VertuoLine capsules into the coffee mug.
Whip the Organic Coconut Cream with a cream whipper.
Top the brewed coffee with whipped cream (if you like that).
Sprinkle shaved chocolate on top of your coffee mug (if you like that).
Stir it.
Enjoy!

4. Elvazio Gingerbread Coffee

Today is the 1st of July and we are in Hawaii. It was the year when Mauna Kea, Hawaii was hit by 1.5 inches of snow. So we programmed to brew Gingerbread because it is one of the iconic tastes of fall and winter. Don’t mind, it is one of the best Nespresso recipes you can savor any time of year. Although we need to use a stove and a cooking pan to prepare this recipe, it is not messy at all. Rather, it is pleasant and enjoyable.

If it is fall or winter when you are reading this recipe it is best to enjoy. But you can enjoy it whenever gingerbread sounds right to you.

Because we prepared this recipe with Cosi and Elvazio, we named it Cosi Elvazio Gingerbread coffee. Both are fruity capsules; the first one is lightly fruity and the second one is fruity and caramel. If you have some issues with caffeine you can use two Decaffeinato capsules either Decaffeinato OriginalLine or Decaffeinato VertuoLine.

Gingerbread keeps your mouth healthy and soothes sore muscles, a great alternative to hot lattes in cold weather.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Pour half of the milk into the saucepan and heat it for 0.5-2 minute and bring it to a light boil.
Crumble the gingerbread into the bowl.
Add the maple syrup to the bowl and stir it.
Pour the maple syrup and gingerbread mixture into the saucepan and stir it.
Pour the mixture into the coffee mug.
Brew both capsules into the coffee mug over the mixture.
Froth on hot the remaining half milk into the frother.
Pour the hot frothed milk into the frother.
Stir and enjoy!

5. Venezia Tiramisù Cappuccino

Today is the 2nd of July and we are preparing for the independence day of our country (the United States). We are feeling so tired and don’t want to do anything. We have planned to combine dark chocolate with crumbled cookies onto the coffee mug for today’s recipe in the morning for breakfast. And we are feeling very happy while preparing this drink; one of my favorite types of Nespresso coffee recipes. We enjoyed our coffee with a rich taste of sweet and surprising Tiramisu and had great fun. Since we made it with Venezia and Il Caffe, we named it Venezia Tiramisu Cappuccino. We had best enjoyed this recipe in the morning for breakfast but it is not compulsory. You can better enjoy it any time you want.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Add chocolate syrup and BelGioioso Mascarpone Cheese to the bowl and mix them
Add the mixture to the coffee glass
Froth milk hot for cappuccinos and add to the coffee glass
Now prepare Venezia or Il Caffè, whichever is compatible with your Nespresso machine
Brew the capsule directly into the coffee glass onto the mixture
Crumble De Ruiter Dutch Speculaas Cookies onto the drink.
Stir it and enjoy

6. Nespresso Volluto Honey Lavender Iced Latte With Coconut Milk Recipe

Today is the 5th of July, and the sun is looking burning ball of fire. I do not want to go outside. So I decided to brew an iced latte for a cooling sensation in this blazing summer. I mix coconut milk with Voluuto coffee and ice. This beautiful dairy-free Honey Lavender Iced Latte has stolen our hearts. Flavored with fragrant lavender and honey, this iced latte will always impress.

7. Nespresso Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

I am a Nespresso fan and always brew coffee with many ingredients to enhance its flavors. One morning, a unique combination came into my mind, and I brewed Pumpkin Spice coffee with sweet salted caramel and chocolate sauce. The combination of spice and sweet flavor gave me a perfect drink. You can also sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of the coffee.

Each Nespresso recipe requires a shaker or frother for the perfect combination of ingredients. So, add milk, cinnamon powder, vanilla syrup, or any other ingredient; you will always get a perfect cup of espresso.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Add white chocolate sauce to the coffee mug.
Pour milk into the Aeroccino frother/cocktail shaker and froth it.
Add frothed milk to the glass.
Extract Pumpkin Spice Vertuo pod with a Nespresso VertuoLine machine directly into the mug.
Decorate your drink with cinnamon powder, salted caramel sauce, vanilla, or dark chocolate sauce.
You can pair your espresso with vanilla or chocolate cake.
Enjoy your refreshing Pumpkin Spice Latte.
